I have a couple of general questions about modding for you guys:
When adding screws, do you attempt to use the same kind for everything?
Background Q1
I ask because I am working on replacing the existing interlock and adding new ones. The original interlock was installed with two M3 screws. The whole was threaded with a tap, there was no nut.
Did you redo the wiring for the terminals on your machine?
Background Q2
My PSU is this one, I think. All of my terminals use insulated ferrules aside from the ones on the far right (the last four). I have the tools to add the insulated ferrules to all terminals.

I generally leave the current wiring alone after verifying that all terminal screws are tight:
** However for repairs or additions:**
For pluggable DC voltage I use 2.1 mm plug and jack.
I find these convenient, especially when used with the ferrules below : Amazon.com *
